Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Fairfield

Post-Traumatic Stress

“In the past seven years I have become quite adept at working with clients who have trauma histories. Trauma can be major or it can be minor. I find that all human beings have experienced some form of trauma in their lives and this trauma often contributes to our current dysfunctions. I use a method called EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) with almost all my clients. This is a physiological method that is both quick and effective. So whether you are suffering from depression, anxiety, addiction, ect. I can help you both rapidly and dramatically.

“Live Free represents my mission statement. It can be difficult to continue daily activities when we constantly worry about the future, dwell on our past and struggle with managing current stressors. My passion in life is to help others live their life by having more control of one's thoughts, feelings, and physical well-being. I do this by providing support and using techniques such as EMDR, CBT, mindfulness and motivational interviewing. I have had the privilege of working with a diverse population of adolescents/individuals through an inpatient psychiatric hospital, a methadone clinic, and at a SA/MH facility.

“My primary goal is to help people who feel stuck, either in unproductive communication patterns or conflicts that threaten their most important relationships. I place great value on being a compassionate, non-judgmental, responsive collaborator, uncovering clients' strengths, unrecognized needs, new or under-utilized talents and problem solving abilities. I find that this approach helps most clients come "unstuck" and accomplish their goals in a gentle and supportive process. I use Brainspotting with clients for resolving traumatic experiences, PTSD and anxiety as well as enhancing peak performance.
